ment to the U. S. Constitution.
WASHINGTON, Oct 7-John A. McCler-
nand and A. b. Carlton, OF the Utah
Commission, have submitted 70 the Secre-
tary Of the Interior minority report dis.
sentlng from some ofthe views OF a major
ity OF the Commission as expressed In its
annual report recently submitted. The
minority sayi 'sWhile concur
ing in rart in the majority
report Of our associates, we dissent from
1t particularly as regards the general ami
mus and the propriety OF introducing
theological discussion into a secular docu-
ment. After review Of the effects of
the new registration law upon the cleo
tion OF delegate 10 the Fiftieth Con-
gress, the dissenting commissioners say
that early in tho present year they thought
they discerned disposition among the
Mormons to give up the practice Of polyg
amy; and add that they have used their
Official and personal influence to induce
the Mormons to take such step. The
commissioners wish 10 disclaim any inter-
ference in the question of Statehood for
Utah, but consider that, whether the Ter
ritory be admitted or not, strong, ad-
yanccd position is gained when the mass
OF the people are induced to place them
selves on record in opposition to polyga-
my. Now while the great mass of
the Mormon people are making an eff
fort for the abandonment of the prac-
tlce of polygamy, we are asked to
recommend further Legislation OF a
hostile and aggressive character, almost il
not entirely destructive of local self
government, thoreby infiicting punish
ment upon the innocent as well as the
guilty. This we decline TO do, The com
rnissioners, instead, recommend the
adoption Of an amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States prohibiting
the institution or practice OF polygamy
